and Big Show were the only two men left standing. In the last moment of the match it
seemed that Big Show was going to throw The Rock over the third rope with a Running
Powerslam but The Rock took Big Show with him, knocking him out and back in the
ring. The Rock's feet hit the ground first although those who were watching the event did
not notice. Big Show tried to prove that The Rock's feet had hit the ground first and that
therefore he had to be the real winner. Even so, the decision that The Rock had won
the Royal Rumbleit could not be revoked. Thus, a match of the number one contender for
the WWF Championship was played at No Way Out 2000 , where Big Show was

at Backlash 2000 in which Johnson won the title, after Stone Cold Steve Austin made his
return and intervened on Johnson's behalf. Later, on Judgment Day 2000 , the two fought
in an Iron Man match with Shawn Michaels as referee , in which the Undertaker return was
seen. The Rock was disqualified and lost the title because Undertaker attacked Triple H.
